QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article is new enough, long enough, sources from news look good. It is neutral and plagiarism free. Hook is interesting and cited with a solid source. Pic is eligible for use and suitable. QPQ unnecessary as this is Pikavoom first DYK nomination. My only obsevration is that it might be nice to include 'Rear Admiral' in the hook too? Looking forward to seeing it on the main page - perhaps it could be saved for March, around International Women's Day? Lajmmoore (talk) 10:06, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Lajmmoore: thank you. I added the promotion to Rear Admiral as ALT1. I initially thought I had hook length issues, but ALT1 is 174 characters so it should be fine. She's also broke firsts with the chief of staff and flag promotion, but I think that's obvious enough. Scheduling if this fits into a good date, that's great.
